Mrs. Robinson (Singalong)

Author Comments

Hey All: Ceevro here. Just wanted to thank all the brilliant people who put in the time and effort to make this thing sound as awesome as it does! Special thanks to Step for doing pretty much all of the technical work.

I'm looking forward to the next Singalong Collab!

Heya! Step here. This is a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson", organised by Ceevro on the Newgrounds Audio Forum. The idea was for a fun collaboration where people would get together and sing along / add instruments. Lots of people sang and recorded instruments for this! You can check out the thread here:

I (Step) was in charge of bringing all the different parts together, and doing the mixing/post-production to make a final product. 99.9% of what you're hearing was recorded live! Here's a full list of credits:

I love the natural, old-fashioned country vibe here. Given the title, I'm not sure if this is a cover or what, but I loved the lyrics and general mood/themes. It's mellow and flowy, yet very engaging and fun. Almost seems like an audio recording of one of those people who come in and entertain during kids' birthdays by singing silly, feel-good songs. :) Not sure what else to add...it may be a tad dry, but to solve that "issue" would be to take away from the natural campfire-like atmosphere of it. Also, Step, the mix is so clear that it's like I'm right there at the campfire playing shakers along to the beat! XD Nice work everyone. Keep up the good work. ;D

You are making it your mission to review all my recent uploads haha. Always love your reviews.

Super glad you liked this. It is indeed a cover. The dryness might be an issue... I'm not very good at calculating reverb on real-life instruments. I did add some reverb but I never really liked the wishy-washy sound that reverb gave to vocals. We'll be submitting a Summer of 69 cover very very soon - maybe I fixed the reverb in that one. That said, I'm super relieved you think the mix is clear!
